Elbow connector
KF, CF, and ISO elbow connectors are specialized components used in vacuum systems to facilitate changes in direction and orientation of the vacuum tubing or piping. Each of these connectors is associated with a specific type of flange system and is designed for compatibility within that system:1. KF Elbow Connector: KF (Klein Flange) elbow connectors are used in vacuum systems with KF flange connections. These connectors allow for a change in the direction of the vacuum tubing or pipes while maintaining the KF standard's dimensions and sealing capabilities. They are commonly used in applications requiring flexibility and space-saving solutions.
2. CF Elbow Connector: CF (Conflat) elbow connectors are designed for use with CF flanges, which are used in high and ultra-high vacuum applications. CF elbow connectors allow for changes in tubing direction without compromising the vacuum system's integrity. They are typically made of high-quality materials to ensure a reliable and high-vacuum-compatible seal.
3. ISO Elbow Connector: ISO (International Organization for Standardization) elbow connectors are used in vacuum systems featuring ISO flange connections. ISO elbow connectors maintain the standardized dimensions and specifications of ISO flanges, providing a reliable solution for redirecting vacuum tubing while ensuring compatibility within ISO-based vacuum systems.
These elbow connectors are essential for configuring and customizing vacuum systems to suit specific spatial or directional requirements, all while maintaining airtight seals and the high vacuum levels necessary for various applications, such as research, manufacturing, and scientific experiments. The choice of connector depends on the type of flange system used in the vacuum system.
